It’s pretty well known that in the food and drinks industry, if you’ve created something widely Instagram-worthy, you have a winner. And the bars in the list know exactly what they’re doing. These drinks aren’t just the most Instagrammable in the world, they’re also pure art. So if you happen to be in the vicinity of these, try them out for us, will you?
Silly Rabbit at the Sixth, Chicago
This drink may look like a geometric art fan’s dream come true, but it’s surprisingly also for people who love cereal! Inspired by the cereal Trix, these ice cubes are soaked in Ford’s gin, lime juice, soda and house-made mint bitters that acquire a strong fruity flavour as they melt. The best part? Raspberry Red, Grapity Purple, Orangey Orange and Lemony Yellow are the flavours of the four ice cubes!
Spirit Forward at Botanist, Shanghai
It’s a gorgeous cocktail in a lightbulb. No we’re not kidding, it’s served in an actual lightbulb and it looks like a dream!! Made with thyme, lemon juice, pear liqueur and rose water mixed with dry vermouth and The Botanist gin – there’s really nothing that should be stopping you from booking a one-way ticket straight to Shanghai!
Don’t Tell Mama at 5 Cocktails and More, Istanbul
It’s true what they say, childhood dreams do come true. Seeing this popsicle cocktail has me excited beyond words. Scenic Istanbul and a heady mix of blueberry, strawberry, lemon, vodka and dark chocolate liqueur – is there really anything more than you need? Only answer in the affirmative, thanks.
The Great Gatsby at El Paradiso, Spain
The presentation has everything to do with the drink and El Paradiso takes their presentation very, very seriously. For people who enjoy classics with a bit of a twist – The Great Gatsby is just that. Macallan amber whiskey, ramazotti amaro, lavender bitters and truffle honey and a bell jar filled with chocolate and vanilla flavoured-tobacco smoke, make this drink completely out of the ordinary.
Culebra Punch at Oriole, London
How can you stop yourself from clicking and Instagramming something so absurdly over-the-top yet beautiful? The colourful Culebra Punch comes in a turtle-shaped silver bowl with Bacardi 8 yr rum, Banks 5 Island Rum, mangosteen and banana ale, kumquat juice, passiflora tea and ginger beer. Hey Oriole, could you send this over to India as soon as possible, please?
